Monitoring & SNMP for mission critical applications

Monitoring and SNMP functions are part of many G&D products and help monitoring the

system statuses of G&D products

system statuses of connected peripherals

Thanks to the system's permanent monitoring, the administrator can react to critical conditions (e.g. exceeding temperatures, miscommunications with the keyboard interface, or problems with the redundant system) before they lead to failures.

The monitoring and SNMP function avoids system failures, increases availability and allows both users and system administrator to work more efficiently. Best suited for mission-critical applications such as live events or monitoring tasks.

Monitoring

G&D products with monitoring functions provide at least one connection to the network as well as an integrated web interface to configure and monitor the device.

Administrators can use the network to access the web interface of any device thus maintaining an overview of the device status.

Any values of G&D devices are monitored internally. The connection to the devices (e.g. monitor or keyboard ports) provides information about the connected peripherals.

Changing defined conditions (ON/OFF) or exceeding defined thresholds (temperature) are stored in the web interface and thus can be viewed by the administrator.

On the bottom of this site we provide an overview of all available products and their monitoring values.

SNMP for receiving events and preventive monitoring

SNMP SET + GET

Preventive device monitoring can be carried out using SNMP GET. Querying the device temperature regularly provides statistics on daily top values. Even though these values are still under the warning limit, these information enables a preventive reaction.

SNMP SET requests have active impact on a G&D product (e.g. when changing channels at a KVM Switch).

To use SNMP SET + GET, the devices must be directly connected to the network.

SNMP Trap

SNMP traps help administrators monitor devices.

Instead of having to query any monitoring values, administrators automatically receive SNMP traps sent by G&D devices. From now they no longer miss any events and can react accordingly.

Just like monitoring information, syslog messages can be sent as SNMP trap.
